Bajaj Pulsar N125 – Bajaj has once again stirred the excitement in the commuter bike segment with the launch of its all-new Pulsar N125. Tailored for young riders and budget-conscious daily commuters, this new offering brings all the style and energy of the Pulsar N-series into the 125cc category. If you’re someone who wants sporty design and a punchy ride without spending too much, the Pulsar N125 might just be your perfect match.
Bold and Stylish Like a Bigger Bike
At first glance, the Pulsar N125 doesn’t look like a typical commuter. It carries that signature streetfighter design that we’ve seen on the Pulsar N150 and N160. The bike features a sharp front look with LED daytime running lights, muscular tank extensions, and an edgy tail section. Even though it’s a 125cc motorcycle, the N125 looks bold enough to hold its ground next to larger bikes.
It comes with a split seat design, sleek LED tail lamps, and body panels that make it look way more premium than what you’d expect in this price range. Bajaj has clearly worked on the design to attract younger buyers who want a good-looking bike that stands out on the road.
Engine That Packs a Punch
Powering the N125 is a new 124.4cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine. It’s tuned to deliver around 11.8 PS of power and 10.8 Nm of torque. These numbers put it slightly ahead of some other bikes in the same segment. It comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox that promises smooth shifting and a decent top-end for city rides and occasional highway use.
One of the best parts about this engine is its balance. You get enough performance for zipping through traffic and great mileage to keep your fuel bills in check. Bajaj is known for tuning their engines smartly, and the N125 continues that tradition.
Built for Comfort and Daily Use
The Pulsar N125 isn’t just about looks and power — it’s also quite practical. The riding position is upright and comfortable, making it suitable for long commutes or casual rides. The flat handlebars and slightly rear-set foot pegs give you that sporty feel without sacrificing comfort.
Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. This setup helps the bike absorb most road bumps with ease while still offering decent handling. Its lightweight frame also means you can confidently take it through narrow city lanes or busy traffic.
Safety and Braking Setup
When it comes to safety, the N125 is expected to get a front disc brake and a rear drum brake with a combined braking system (CBS). This setup offers better control during braking, especially for new riders. ABS might not be on offer, but CBS should be enough for this category.
Tubeless tyres are likely to be standard, offering extra peace of mind in case of a puncture and providing better grip on wet or rough roads.
Tech and Features for the Young Generation
For a 125cc bike, the Pulsar N125 comes fairly loaded. It might feature a digital-analog instrument cluster that shows speed, fuel level, trip details, and more. LED DRLs, a halogen or LED headlamp (depending on the variant), and even a USB charging port are expected to be part of the package.
These features add both convenience and style, making the N125 appealing to students and working professionals who use their bikes every day.
Mileage That Won’t Burn a Hole in Your Pocket
The N125 is expected to deliver an impressive mileage of 55 to 60 km/l, making it one of the more fuel-efficient options out there. With a fuel tank capacity of around 11 to 12 liters, you can easily go long distances without frequent stops at the petrol pump.
Add features like side-stand engine cut-off, a low seat height, and a pillion-friendly setup, and you’ve got a scooter that’s easy to live with.
Pricing and Competition
Bajaj is likely to price the Pulsar N125 competitively, somewhere around ₹90,000 to ₹95,000 (ex-showroom). That places it right against rivals like the Hero Glamour Xtec, Honda SP 125, TVS Raider 125, and Hero Xtreme 125R. What gives the N125 an edge is its aggressive design, trusted Pulsar branding, and all-round practicality.
Final Thoughts
The Bajaj Pulsar N125 looks set to shake up the 125cc segment. It’s stylish, efficient, performance-friendly, and loaded with enough features to satisfy the needs of young, first-time buyers or anyone upgrading from a smaller commuter. With Bajaj’s wide service network and years of proven engineering, the N125 has everything it needs to be a hit on Indian roads.
So if you’re looking for a cool-looking, wallet-friendly bike that can handle both fun and function, the Pulsar N125 might just be the one.
